Try to enjoy today’s mix of sun and clouds because things are about to change in a big way. Highs this afternoon peak around 44 degrees, which is cool for this time of year, but at least it’s dry. Winds stay light through most of the day, and we hold onto some sunshine between the clouds. As we head into tonight, conditions become breezier with clouds continuing to thicken. Lows drop to around 35, but thanks to increasing winds, it may feel a bit colder by morning.
